§ Mr. Wainwrightasked the Paymaster General if he is satisfied with the progress being made in the Yorkshire and Humberside region to provide sufficient places under the two-year YTS due to commence on 1 April; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TrippierYes. Already by 11 February 89 per cent. of the required places were definitely or likely to be provided. Approximately 90 per cent. of basic places had been found, and 81 per cent. of premium places, which are designed to help young people and parts of the country with special needs.
